The person I initially responded to said that the reason I was off by a factor of 1000 was because I forgot to multiply by the K in the price.

I said the actual reason I was off by 1000 was because when I glanced at the calculator I read the result wrong. The math was right, my reading comprehension wasn’t.

I was never arguing that the answer I put in the comment wasn’t wrong. I even edited it.

Having to plan connecting flights is a thing.

Apparently I’m not the only one making reading errors here.

If you’re eating 90lb of cheese a day, there’s no shit at all

No, it’s not. The numbers used to derive the answer were correct. I did not forget to multiply by the K. I read the answer wrong when I transferred it.

My math was correct, my reading wasn’t.

No, I didn’t. The math was fine, it was me not counting the places in the answer correctly that was the problem.

Yeah, I don’t think he will, but he does have the ability

Ugliness as in personality, not appearance.

I’m sure it’s Larry fucking with the algorithm

He actually could by deputizing some marshals to go arrest the people who turned them away. There are plenty of former special ops guys who would jump at the chance.

I thought that happened a week or two ago

My wife has been showing me TikTok videos of black guys asking things like, “guess what I do for work,” and the responses are every bit as racist as you’d expect.

She thinks it’s everyone making fun of racists and black people owning the jokes, but to me it looks like attempts to normalize overt racism.

They could, but courts can deputize people to explicitly do it (like if the US marshals won’t).

I know several former special ops guys who would jump at the chance.

You don’t have to go after trump. Just the people doing his bidding.

It depends on the ratio of failed to successful, really. If there are hundreds of millions of successful verifications, that’s a fairly low failure rate.

But he still doesn’t know she’s into him.

They still got turned away today and their press badges confiscated.

Deputize someone as a marshal and have them arrested for contempt of court.

There are if the judge has the balls to do it.

Nah, I messed up looking at the answer, not with the math.

Edit: it’s wild that I was downvoted for admitting my mistake.
